Foul Lair

Digging graves – City buries dead
Angry tears falling – The massacre
Cemetary defaced – Age of pain draws near
A presence of troops – Termination inflicted

Civil unrest – Mortar shell exploding
On contact – Sacrificing

Cringing at the thought – That nothing can be done
To stop this madness – Dreams fading fast

Feel the pressure – Brain starts to wither
Absent warnings of attack – Designated plots

Arranged in order – Grisly reminder turned to grief
Discarded prayers – Fear of living grows
Depletion continues – At phenomenal rates
Voices screaming – Counting losses
Suffering immortal

Wounding opposition – Parade the streets
Victory accomplished
For time being thinking your safe – When attacks resume
Creating more dead – Wind of destruction

Everything is grey – Trees are gone
Nothing stands
Running through sniper alleys
Viewing with disgust

A place you hate – Killings everyday
Before your eyes – Burning corpses
Flesh rains down – Robbed of our defences
As other countries watch – Fighting for land and power
